Abstract

An network server includes a receiving unit that receives content from a client apparatus connected via a network, a conversion determining unit that obtains metadata of the content to determine whether to convert the media format of the content according to the metadata, and selects the media format after conversion according to the metadata, and a format converting unit that converts the media format of the content into the media format selected by the conversion determining unit.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Technical Field[0002]The invention relates to a network server, a media format conversion method and a media format conversion system. More particularly, the invention relates to a network server that converts the media format of content, a media format conversion method and a media format conversion system.[0003]2. Description of the Related Art[0004]Recently, research into a network server, which records content such as television broadcasting on a recording medium and outputs the recorded content via a network, has been actively conducted. The network server can not only output the recorded content via an HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) cable and the like, but can also output the recorded content to a display apparatus via various home networks. The home networks, for example, include DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance, registered trademark)-defined networks.[0005]When a TS (Transport Stream) packet is transmitted via a home netw...
